The Effect of Low-Intensity Resistance Exercise Training

The Effect OfF Low-Intensity Resistance Exercise Training Combined With Blood Flow Restruction On Triceps Brachii Muscle Volume And Performance

It was to compare the effect of low-load resistance training with blood flow restriction (LL-BFR) and high-intensity resistance training (HI-RT) on muscle strength, endurance and volume, functional performance, and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).

The study included 13 young women. It is a controlled study designed for individuals to perform two different exercise protocols unilaterally. The persons were randomly allocated into two groups as LI- BFR (Group I, n = 13) and HI-RT (Group II, n = 13). Both groups received training for 6 weeks and 3 days a week. Blood flow restriction was performed only in group I.

Both sides triceps muscle thickness, triceps and biceps strength and endurance, functional performances (upper extremity Y balance test (UQYBT)), delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) were evaluated before and after training.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Between the ages of 18-26,
• Do not have a chronic disease history and do not use medication,
• Female individuals were included.

Exclusion Criteria:

• People who made resisted exercise in the last 6 months,
• Smoker,
• BMI above 30 kg / m2,
• Individuals with hypertension were excluded.
